What did you work on today?

Was up late last night/early this morning wrenching again. I got the lower a arms replaced on the typhotank (again). & I've been trying to get my on road car- frank- to track nice & straight before I delve into the whole speed running thing. Had it all dialed in real nice and then...kissed/sideswiped a curb power sliding thru a corner I watched in horror as it flipped onto its lid & went dark (I was running @ night w/ lights) When I got to it the car was still working but the steering was all jacked up- was locked in one direction. Took off the servo horn & re-centered it- must've just skipped from hitting the curb while turning. Had to replace both spring perches on that side too. I'll do some more testing when I get back from vacation.
On to that effing spring loaded wheelie bar for the typhotank. W/ a little direction from @Djhammy I believe I had a plan. 1st I had to move the shocks out to the outer holes on the tower just to get started. I ended up drilling one hole in the center & one notch on each side of the m2c shock tower for the mounting bracket & bolts, then I had to grind a little relief out of the back of the wheelie bar frame to clear the body mount bolts. Some grinding, some cussing, more grinding, more cussing & viola!! Just that easy!!!

My rationale is that it took too long to taco the front end.

And it survived the test run!

I just dremeled off the factory esc plate and stuck the max6 down with a zip tie reinforcement. It'll hold until I get an upgrade (thinking basherqueen). I'm tempted to get some BQ towers, too...
But I digress.
I don't have an 18t, so I put a 20t on for now. I'm running lp's so I suspect I'll get away with it.
It has a ton of control in the air!
